2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn Truck Performance

Desired everyday truck capability demands an even balance between muscle and efficiency. Pickup seekers in New Holland, Lancaster, and Reading will be happy to hear that Ram 1500 Big Horn's standard under-the-hood mechanics fulfill this mission with ease.

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine makes 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, which is ample power for running errands or hauling materials out to a job.

The 1500's go-to transmission, the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic, helps the Big Horn transition between speeds smoothly, adding to its sophisticated performance sense. Plus, EPA-estimated efficiency stats of 20/28 city/highway mpg allow you to embrace the 1500 Big Horn as an everyday runner without having to account for a higher gas bill like you might have to for a traditional truck. 

Towing and Payload

When properly equipped, the 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn's paired up performance equipment achieves a maximum towing capacity of 10,650 pounds and a top payload capacity of 1,880 pounds. The Big Horn also comes hook-up ready with a Class IV Receiver Hitch built right into the back of the bed.

Don't forget that the 1500 Big Horn features Ram's clever utility innovation in its truck bed: The RamBox Cargo Management System. This class-exclusive system provides a secure place to store your most used tools and gear, right along the rails of your Big Horn's bed.
